Component
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
Manufacturer
Nissan North America, Inc.
What Happened
The part that controls how far your accelerator pedal moves is called the accelerator pedal assembly. In some 2012-2015 Nissan Versa sedans and 2014-2015 Versa Notes, this assembly can be damaged by the center console, causing you to accidentally press the wrong pedal.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, you might accidentally press the accelerator pedal when you mean to hit the brake pedal. This could make it harder to stop your vehicle, increasing the risk of a collision.
Free Fix
Your Nissan dealer will modify the center console to prevent this issue, and the repair is free of charge. You should contact them to schedule the fix as soon as you receive the recall notice.
